Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?

Jimmy Johnson broke an axle at Daytona in the middle of turns 3 and 4. Dale Jr broke an axle on track, not in the pits like the idiots on TV said, in the middle of turns 1 and 2. Also, Mark Martin's team found out that for some reason his car was %26quot;chewing%26quot; up the axle or drive plate on his car. Whether its the axle itself, drive plate or hub or whatever, it seems to be a problem for this team right now. Chad Knaus said at Daytona the wheel bearing over heated causing to much friction which resulted in the axle breaking. Dale Jr and JJ both broke on the left rear and it was the same exact part that broke on each car and the same problem Mark Martin had during practice at Fontana. Martin's team caught the problem before the race and changed it, but Dale Jr's either didn't wear during practice and started during the race. Or they didn't catch. Either way it seems to be an issue right now for Hendrick drivers. Do you know what would cause this to happen and how can they fix it? Dale Jr had a decent run going, not great but not horrible. It seemed like they just helped his car to drive better on the last stop before this happened. Hendrick needs to do something about these parts or how they are assembled or something and I'm sure he will, but it needs to happen fast or its going to get worse.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Yea it needs to be fixed before Atlanta because the way the article was describing is Atlanta is tough on axles too. I'm sure this will not go too far with Rick. He's pretty good about getting to the root of the problem when it comes down to defective parts (remember the valve springs from last year).Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Yes HMS knows they have a problem. After the final practice in Fontana, all 4 teams changed out their axles. JJ was actually extremely lucky he won that race as they discovered in post race inspection that his were close to failing. You can bet that they will be working very dilligently to fix the problem.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
There is a problem for sure. I would bet engineering and the machine shop are

double and triple checking everything like mad scientists. HMS has the resources

and will find the problem quickly. It would be very interesting to know what they

find but bet that is not in the cards.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Maybe Hendrick Motorsports is testing equipment.

Hendrick Motorsports has no problems winning races and championshipsDoes Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
I didn't know JJ's problem last week was an axle. If that's the case, HMS better get to workDoes Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Dale Jr. had a decent run going?



Sometimes I wonder what race some of you others are watching when your driver is not performing like you would like.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
I hope so. Well Jr.'s whole team has an issue. I mean come on, you HAVE to have a spare axle at Fontana. That's just ridiculous.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Well at Fontana Jeff's engine was terribleDoes Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Jeff Gordon Will Need A New Crew Chief.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
HMS has won the last 4 championships. I hope HMS does indeed have a problem. Mabye the races will actually have a surprising winner. You won't hear any complaints from me if HMS is having some kind of problem. It's sad that HMS has a problem that needs fixed, and a HMS car won at California this past Sunday.



I don't know what you mean by a decent run going. He was running in the 20's most of the race. Open your eyes. A decent run means running at least in the top 10. You are making Dale Jr sound worse than he really is, when you start considering running in the 20's is an improvement. Dale Jr wouldn't have so many haters if JR nation actually talked and made some sense for a change.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Are we sure that the problem is not originating with Hendrick teams to start with? I heard them say last year that Dale was having problems with his rear due to having bent it too much in an attempt to corner better. And they could be running too low or too thin a rear end dope in the search for speed causing lack of lubrication on the inside bearing. There is just so much that you can do in the search for a teeny bit more speed and no other team is having any such problem.Does Hendrick Motorsports have a problem that needs fixed?
Yes, Get rid of the 88 car, and bring back Schrader in the 25
